Low Calorie Omelets





So this is a take on the South Beach omelet. I've never made that one before but my former boss did. I've jazzed this one up a bit but the cooking is similar...
Behold! A super hi-tech frying pan. 



Preheat oven to 350. Spray PAM in a muffin pan that holds 12 muffins. Yes, muffin pan, no lie.

1 pint Egg Beaters
1/4 c Soy chorizo
1/4 c diced portabella mushrooms
1/4 c chopped bell peppers
1/4 c chopped green onion (1-2 stalks)
1/4 c low calorie shredded cheese
Salt and pepper to taste, go easy, the chorizo has lots of flavor
Paprika (optional)






Spray a saute pan with PAM and add the soy chorizo (I like Trader' Joe's). Brown the chorizo over medium heat for 5-7 minuets until you see little brown pieces starting to form.

In a bowl, add all the other ingredients, stir to mix and add to the muffin pan using a 1/4 cup measuring spoon.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the egg sets.

Makes 12 1/4 c omelettes. 93 calories per serving (according to My Fitness Pal).

I put the extras in a zip top bag and have two each morning for breakfast with a 100 calorie English muffin.

                                            
                                               I like a little smoked paprika on each one. Makes it festive!
